just kidding. I agree with you 100% however, where i dissagree is your comment about policing who protests. (to some extent) if they policed who was there, they would have less then half as many people showing up and protesting. The numbers make an impact, even if part of that group saw people standing around and were curious and walked in not knowing what was going on. Power in numbers. But with that comes stupidity, so it's sort of a catch-22. |

I'll give you a hint ![]() Quote:
The public also doesn't understand that the kind of personality required to do that may be less articulate or outwardly compassionate than your average office worker. People fear what they don't understand. Most people have never even been in a fight. So violence scares them, especially since the reality is so much different than television and the movies. Now, throw video into the mix and all the ugly reality comes out for people to see from the comfort of their own homes. There's so much that goes into this equation, I could literally write a daily blog about it. I'll save you the boredom. I tell my guys that if they're doing it right, video is your friend in court and is fun to watch later. The problem is that the less than spectacular members of our field stand out, while the men and women doing it properly are never recognized. Its just like the cruise ship industry, fuck-ups stand out while all the rest go unnoticed. Worse, because we are held to a higher standard, anything we do wrong is scrutinized to the Nth degree. Cops need to adjust to the video world, and we are notoriously slow at adapting. Video is here to stay and soon nothing anyone does will escape notice. These guys made hard decisions, and the uninformed here that are criticizing are clearly ignorant. All we can do is try and educate them. ![]() |

are you guys serious.
why defend another dumb fuck messing up our society. clearly shows the guy was about to take a swing or taunt the cop with the swing for that matter. Partner did the right thing & made sure he won't ever do that kinda shit again. Is the guy carrying the crowbar (or whatever it is) life worth more when he clearly seems to want to harm others, or the guy protecting society? This is to show other mofo's if you gonna go around carrying a weapon, fucking other peoples shit up, then be ready to take what your dishing out. It was kinda overkill though....lol. one or two shots would've been enough but he was probably "in the moment".

The fact that he opened his heart honestly in the OT only solidifies my strong opinion of him. The fact that he is also a brave soul that is willing to protect us makes me feel safe. As a private citizen that has sought additional training aid in my personal safety...if you are in fear of your life or your family members life...you shoot until that threat is neutralized. It doesn't matter if it's one or ten.... Deadly force is deadly force, the are no degrees of deadly force. A double tap with my .45 to head/center mass (not routinely taught) if accurately placed with my 220 gr JHP will kill 95% of recipients. So your saying that this is okay in your book, but emptying the magazine when the assailant is still moving is not okay?? Both assailants are dead. Dead is dead.

Ya ya I know hes your buddy. Ive quoted him in other threads and have always been friendly.
I gave my opinion on the video and he called me an idiot, so I could care less about being "out of line". |

oh look, a bunch of tuff guys on an internet forum trashing the police for trying to save their own lives because some jackass with a metal tube bender decided to resist arrest, - after being tasered- and then attempted to cause great bodily injury to one of the officer with this weapon... I'm sorry if you don't see that as enough justification to shoot somebody. what the do you think cops carry guns for then, to look cool? No, its for that split second heat of the moment where they have to resort to the weapon.
let me see you tuff guys duke it out with another moron who has a metal hammer/pick whatever the fuck it was, or in fact, let me see you send ur dog running towards him so your dog can "bite" him and have its head bashed into pieces while you hide and run like a little bitch and call the cops. /thread ended.
